2 dead in 1-vehicle accident in Crawford County

Two people were killed in a fatal accident last month that involved one vehicle.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol said Ronald Drennon was driving his 2000 Pontiac Grand Am on Highway N back on June 30. He was driving eastbound on the highway, just six miles east of Bourbon.

During the drive, Drennon was carrying one passenger, 51 year-old Connie Long.

Authorities said Drennon, 53, failed to stay on the curve of the highway and began to go off the right side of the road. He over-corrected, and went off the left side of the road. Highway Patrol said Drennon's vehicle struck a tree.

Drennon and Long were pronounced dead at the scene. Neither was wearing a safety device.
